Creating images for private use is no issue at all. But there may be better ways to add value than creating images from an AI and claiming them to be confidential. For example, AI, such as Stable Diffusion, can make images using the already available art data. But can you use it for Private purposes, or are there any complications to it? We will find out about it in the below read.
What is Stable Diffusion?
Stable Diffusion, developed by StabilityAI, is another AI image generator that is free to use and open-source. It is a deep language learning text-to-image model with the main purpose of creating images like the others like Dall-E or MidJourney. It currently has millions of users that are free to use it in any way possible.
Is Stable Diffusion Private?
The Stability AI Stable Diffusion is now a public tool for anyone. You can generate any image and sell it or share its copyrights for any intended purpose. Unlike Dall-E or Dall-E 2, the StabilityAI’s Stable Diffusion is an open-source yet free image generator. Anyone can use the AI app to generate any image, depending on their text prompt command. However, the pictures they can create are free of privacy matters.
The Stable Diffusion was the first AI tool whose creation received copyright protections in the U.S., even though it is now legally challenged.
Getty Images sued the StabilityAI claiming that it is unlawfully using and processing millions of images that have copyright protection or are associated and represented with Getty Images metadata. Moreover, privacy is always threatened since it is open-source and available to anyone. Users can use it in any way possible and even the artwork of others under their name.
Conclusion
Since the Stable Diffusion isn’t private, privacy has always been an issue with the tool. That is why it has been facing a legal lawsuit for allowing users to use it however they desire. Above that, they may even give out the rights of the image created to others, which is even more unethical.
